By the way the main reason I am testing out the regular hashcat is I have an old mini tower it's an Acer L100 someone gave me a while back. The built in nvidia card isn't supported by cuda and I wanted to just use this machine for cracking simple stuff like this. So I don't tie up my main computer. Just trying to find a work around that would still crack at a decent rate. If the computer is just too old to crack this type of stuff I'll just give it to a relative to use for their kids or something. It uses a lot of laptop parts so I can't install a regular graphics card so I figured maybe using the cpu might work. It's dual core and has 3gb of ram it should do pretty decent at cracking.
I'd like to set it up with a file so that I can see the length of time it would take to run that 10 gb file compared to my computer running the same file on cuda to see if messing with this pc would even be worth it. I'm pretty new with this stuff and not sure how much of a difference it is between using gpu and cpu for cracking this stuff.
